Looking for a blower intake for the small block Oldsmobile

PM me if you know or have one.

I don't recall one ever being built by a manufacturer. Some have taken a four barrel manifold and made an adapter plate that bolts to the intake and the blower bolts to the adapter. Or use a Paxton type blower that fits over the entire carb. Like the Ford T-bird or Studebaker Avante

 

Gene,


The only SBO blower intakes I have ever seen have been fabricated by taking one of the Offy 360 dual quad intakes, milling the carb flanges parallel to the crank centerline, and welding a thick aluminum plate to the top. This one is a BBO, but you get the idea.

 

look thru here..if its not there...

it aint cheap...but i have one for a Nailhead..and its top end high quality stuff..

 

It's not. BDS uses the Offy intake with a welded plate, as I suggested.

 

at the time i posted..i was on the road and using ,y phone..i couldnt scroll thru..

i had a Pontiac blower intake that was a 2x4 with a plate...kinda cheesy..not by BDS...

if i where to do one..id send it to BDS..they do top notch work

 

I've seen an SBO blower intake fabricated by BDS. They do nice work.

 

on face book some guy has a bunch of intakes and on the bottom of the pile there is a blower intake..not sure if big or small..but he wants to sell..i dont know them or anything about them..it looks like a small block , but then again..it looks like a 455..its sitting backwards so i cant get a good look

Unfortunately it is still an Offy intake with a blower adapter welded to it. It isn't even a dual quad, it started life as a single quad intake. Compare the second photo with the blower intake, particularly at the rear. Yes, it is a BBO intake. The SBO version of the Offy has differently shaped runners at the back (third photo).

 

i couldnt tell..i was on my phone..and just could get the pic big enough to tell

and the weird offy is prob why i couldnt recognize it
